I don't think they are _recommended_ there.
However this system is out of our buget and ML system from hp is much cheaper. Is there anybody running R on ML370 or ML
570 systems? If
you can provide me with some other information related that will be appreciated.
Those are just Xeon processors in a standard Wintel box. What OS? (They run Linux, Solaris, SCO Unix, Windows ....)
I believe one of ours is a ML530 (dual Xeon 2.4 GHz). We've been putting Mandrake on it (currently 9.0; have not had a chance to upgrade yet). Had no problem running/compiling R at all. For a limited budget, IMHO these are hardly a good choice. We got our first dual Opterons with twice the RAM (but IDE instead of SCSI HDD) at around the same price as the Compaq/HP, and that Opteron-based box will run rings around the Compaq. Andy
